About Biophenox 50mg Injection

PHENOXYBENZAMINE belongs to a group of medicines called antihypertensives used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) caused by phaeochromocytoma (tumour of the adrenal glands). Hypertension is a condition in which the force of blood against the artery walls is very high. It will be an addition to the workload of the heart and arteries.

PHENOXYBENZAMINE contains Phenoxybenzamine, an alpha-blocker that opposes certain hormones produced by the tumour of the adrenal gland that constricts and narrows blood vessels. Thereby, it relaxes and widens blood vessels and lowers high blood pressure.
